New York, NY (PRWEB) - With the new year well and truly underway, the fall out of the industry’s busiest period is there to be examined in full. One truth stands alone for all to see – a strong supply chain network can be the difference between big success and dramatic loss. The industry faces continuous disruption from consumers and an agile and innovative supply chain strategy is vital for brands and retailers who wish to remain - or become - a big player of the future. The top names of retail and FMCG are gathering in New York this May (10-11) for the D3 Retail Summit (https://events.eft.com/d3/) to debate the future of the industry.

Target, Best Buy, Lacoste, Macy’s, REI and many more will lead the way in the challenge to deliver a seamless customer experience through an omni-capable supply chain. The summit will break this strategy down into 6 fundamental areas; Network Redesign, Last Mile Experience, Inventory Optimization, Warehouse Automation, Logistics Strategy and the Evolving supplier.
